TSC GOES FOR TEACHERS SCORED BELOW C(S) IN LISTED KCSE SUBJECTS

Teachers who scored below the TSC minimum subjects grades proposed by TSC may have hard time since the Commission aims strictly to have all teacher recruits to have scored a minimum general grade of C in their examinations .

In addition , the teacher must have scored  a minimum of C- in English to qualify for teaching profession. The announcement came after TSC tabled a  proposal on revising the minimum entry level for individuals aiming to become teachers .

In this measure, now TSC has ruled scraping the P1 Certificate Level of education for teacher trainees. As contained in its most recent proposal, the commission is seeking to have a Diploma Certificate as the lowest level of study for all teachers .This also covers  those training to teach at ECDE level of education.

In its defense for this move , the commission has announced that this measure is meant to improve the  performance of candidates in the national exams.

The TSC director of lawa also observed that over the past few years , analysis done on KCSE results shows that the worst subject performance in the Republic of Kenya at KCPE or KCSE is Mathematics and  English Language subjects.

For those teachers already in training who did not meet the newly set requirements, TSC promised to have a discussion with the Ministry of education to find the way forward.
